选取祁连山天然气水合物钻探区DK-8井岩心样品中的砂岩,利用模拟气合成含天然气水合物砂岩样品,并进行电阻率及介电常数研究。砂岩样品在天然气水合物形成后电阻率明显增大。在温度震荡过程中,电阻率测量能检测到水合物或冰的二次形成。在天然气水合物形成过程中,体系的介电常数变化规律复杂,在1 k Hz^100 k Hz频段内,含水合物岩石的介电常数存在频散特性,频率高于100 k Hz,频散特性变弱。从介电常数的实验结果来看,基于介电常数的电法勘探技术可用来定性分析含水合物储层,但很难定量研究储层的水合物饱和度。
Gas hydrate formation from two types of dissolved gas (methane and mixed gas) was studied under varying thermodynamic conditions in a novel apparatus containing two different natural media from the South China Sea. The testing media consisted of silica sand particles with diameters of 150-250 μm and 250-380 μm. Hydrate was formed (as in nature) in salt water that occupies the interstitial space of the partially water-saturated silica sand bed. The experiments demonstrate that the rate of hydrate formation is a function of particle diameter, gas source, water salinity, and thermodynamic conditions. The initiation time of hydrate formation was very short and pressure decreased rapidly in the initial stage. The process of mixed gas hydrate formation can be divided into three stages for each type of sediment. Sand particle diameter and water salinity also can influence the formation process of hydrate. The conversion rate of water to hydrate was different under varying thermodynamic conditions, although the formation processes were similar. The conversion rate of methane hydrate in the 250-380 μm sediment was greater than that in the 150-250μm sediment. However, the sediment grain size has no significant influence on the conversion rate of mixed gas hydrate.
